Professor Kunchur’s research in low-temperature quantum phenomena (superconductivity, localization, topological insulators, etc.) is internationally recognized and he has been invited over a hundred times to speak in 14 countries. This work has been cited in over 65 books and review articles and was continuously funded for 20 years by the U.S. Department of Energy. Kunchur's research in superconductivity has led to the discovery of new effects such as the Hot-Electron Vortex Instability, Flux Fragmentation, Flux-Creep Memory Effect, etc. His group provided historic confirmations of phenomena such as : Free flux flow, Current-Induced Pair Breaking in HTS, Superfluid Ballistic Acceleration, etc. Effects and phases have been named after Kunchur.
